Travis Kelce‘s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, found her way back into the NFL spotlight this week, as she caught fans’ attention by chiming in on San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk‘s 34th birthday celebration.
Juszczyk‘s wife, fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk, marked the milestone with a heartfelt Instagram tribute, posting a pair of romantic photos of the couple alongside a glowing caption.
“Happy birthday to the love of my life @juicecheck44 loving you is the easiest thing I’ve ever done,” Kristin wrote. “Every year on this earth has formed you into the man you are…smart, funny, kind, driven, sexy and endlessly good. Forever grateful for April 23rd. I love you.”
Nicole’s response sparks curiosity
As expected, fans filled the comments with birthday wishes, but one in particular raised eyebrows-Kayla Nicole‘s. She left a lively and affectionate comment on the post: “Juuuuuuiiice!!!! Happy birthdaaaayy,” Nicole wrote, clearly excited for the 49ers star.
Nicole‘s response, while seemingly innocent and playful, sparked curiosity among NFL followers. Her public ties to Kyle and Kristin Juszczyk haven’t previously been documented, so fans were left wondering about the nature of her relationship with the couple.
The reaction is particularly noteworthy considering Nicole‘s high-profile past with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The two had a five-year, on-again-off-again relationship that officially ended in 2022. Since then, Kelce has moved on, most famously entering into a relationship with global music icon Taylor Swift, which has kept him firmly in the media spotlight
Despite the breakup, Nicole has remained active across social media and the sports world, continuing her work as a fitness influencer, media personality, and model.
She’s also been candid about the challenges she faced following her breakup with Kelce, including difficulties with dating and public perception.
That context made her cheerful message for Juszczyk even more surprising to some. It’s unclear whether Nicole‘s familiarity with Kyle and Kristin stems from NFL circles, mutual friends, or other connections, but her tone suggests a warm rapport.
